碩士 / 臺北市立大學 / 藝術治療碩士學位學程 / 104 / The study is to compare the ceremony of incense burning and worship in Taiwan with the ritual use in the art therapy to make the art therapy a more localized and suitable measure for Taiwanese. In Taiwan, folk beliefs account for higher proportion, so the researcher used field study and took Ren Hai Temple, Taoyuan as an example, through interviewing believers and temple volunteers to collect information of their psychological transformation process during the ceremony of incense burning and worship; through observing to explore the process of incense burning and worship as well as space planning of the temple. Then content analysis was adopted to sort out themes, which were similar or dissimilar to the ritual use in the art therapy for further comparison and discussion.

6 believers were interviewed, including 1 male and 5 female with age between 25-65 years old. Six items in results including people, matters, times, places, things and belief were compared, and the researcher found that ceremony of incense burning and worship and the ritual use of art therapy had the following similarities: the symbolic use of mediums, and in the dialogue with objects (statues, works), temple's staff and art therapist can play the role of facilitator in both individual and group, etc. In addition there were the following differences: the flexibility of ceremony structures, the diversity of mediums, space privacy and time openness. According to above comparison and sorting, the researcher found the open studio and the worship ceremony of temples had more resemblance, such as lower authority role of the art therapist, more open space and time, as well as attention to self-dialogue with the clients or works.
